‘A Perfectly Swell Romance’: Jane Austen and Fred Astaire: A Case Study in Analogy Criticism
The Routledge Companion to Jane Austen, pp 358-367
01 Jan 2022
Abstract
In this essay, Paula Marantz Cohen establishes the critical approach of Analogy Criticism—an offshoot of Reader-Response Criticism. Analogy Criticism seeks to explain how two works with a less-than-obvious connection to each other exist in an analogous relationship that adds interest and resonance to both. The essay tests out this theory, bringing together the work of Jane Austen and Fred Astaire as artists, architects of courtship plots, and creators of strong female characters.
